Weekend Notes 10.27

Halloween festivities have been in full swing at our house over the past week, and we are trying to soak up as much of the Halloween spirit as we can. Halloween movie nights, costume making, and a Starbucks run for their holiday “Witch’s Brew” Frappuccinos (the kids loved them!) have been some of our highlights. We want to get in as much Halloween fun as we can this last weekend before the holiday, so we are planning on making a return to the pumpkin patch, carving our pumpkins, and making some Halloween treats.

This week Cole and I also had a mommy/son date and went to see the Broadway performance of The Lion King. They are on tour and as soon as I heard they were coming to Boise I grabbed tickets. I expected it to be good…I didn’t expect it to be as incredible as it was. Cole and I were just completely blown away at the costumes and the sets…it really was such a memorable night and I hope we get the opportunity to go again one day when Evan is a little older so he can experience it too!

Work out The findings of a study about the importance of cardiovascular exercise have been making the rounds online this week. Of course we all know that exercise is important for health, but the results of this study were quite frankly shocking. Researchers found that a sedentary lifestyle is worse for your health and life expectancy than SMOKING. Pretty surprising right?!

Last minute costumes The spookiest night of the year is just four days away! If you haven’t gotten your costume yet, here are some great last minute costume ideas.

Dupe jacket I’ve been eyeing this I.Am.Gia Pixie jacket that has been all over insta, and I was super excited to find an identical dupe that is literally 1/4 the price! I’m definitely going to be snagging this!

Boot bargain My absolute favorite and splurge worthy Stuart Weitzman boots are currently on sale for 45-50% off (which never happens!). Grab yourself a pair of Lowlands, Highlands, or this gorgeous knee high pair. While there are a lot of dupes for Stuart Weitzman boots, there is nothing quite like the real deal in terms of comfort and quality. They are well worth the splurge!
